In a sane world he would have been handed the gun, cleared it by checking it and visually inspecting it, and would have immediately fired the person in charge upon finding a live round in it.

Actors are not expected to be experts in handling firearms, which is why they hire Armorers for the movie to maintain the guns.

This is on the Armorer, who was an inexperienced woman who was working as Armorer on a movie set for only the second time in her life.

My 14-year-old daughter knows more about firearms safety than this 24-year-old does. One job. She had one job. It was a revolver. How hard is it to count to six?

The kicker is, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, is the daughter of Thell Reed a top armorer in the business. Looks like she didn't pick up daddies talents. Perhaps the ultimate affirmative action hire?

“This is on the Armorer,”

She bears some responsibility, for sure. But Baldwin pointed the weapon at another human being. Baldwin pulled the trigger.

That’s on him and him alone.

Negligent homicide at minimum.

We have heard nothing from the Armorer. Did she check out the weapons on the “cart” or was she union and left the set with the rest of the crew before the accident. Also, it was claimed that the weapons were being used for target shooting. Seems we need so more information. This is not to lessen the responsibility of the Ass’t Director and Baldwin but to clarify what actually happened. Baldwin is an arrogant a$$hole and the chaos of the operation is what would be expected from him.
